AN EXCITING GAME OF BALL
The Closing Championship Contest on
the Home Grounds Ends in Tie.
Darkness Prevents the Game from Being
Played to a Finish, and in Consequence,
There Will Be Another Contest To-Day.
The League Championship Recora.
A Tie Game with the Detroits.


There was an unusually large attendance at
what was supposed to be the last League cham
pionship game of the season at Athletic Park
yesterday afternoon. The weather well
suited to the enjoyment of ball playing, and the
spectators we're given exhibition that was
exciting from the beginning to the close. There
extraordinary amount of hard hitting
and fine fielding. Twenty-four men put
out on flies that fell safely into the hands of
players in the field and the only muff was by
Thompson in the first inning, when Glascock
knocked easy fly to him. The chief
feature of the game the fine playing of Me-
Geachy in the center field He put out more
men than any other player in the game. and
three four of them were exceedingly difficult
captures. He applauded time after time in
returning from the field, and the demonstration
was especially enthusiastic when he retired the
side 10 the fourth inning and prevented two
meA on bases from scoring. Hanlon, Richard
son, Thompson and Seery also made some fine
catches
The two runs OF the Indianapolis club were
made in the first and sixth inning. Glasscock
got to first on Thompson's muf of his fly, stole
second and scored on singles by Shomb berg and
Denny. In the sixth inning Seery made a sin
gle. which Hanlon allowed to get past him, and
Seery got to second before the ball was recov-
cred. He advanced to third a sacrifice by
Glasscock. Shomberg was hit by pitched ball
and sent to first base. Denny went out on a
fly to Hanlon. and the return of the ball
Seery reached home plate In the meantime
Shomberg, supposing the hit safe one.
had run from first base and before he could get
back the ball was thrown to Brouthers putting
him out It was at first claimed that Seery
could not be allowed to the play, but
when Umpire Valentines attention was directed
to the rules he decided that the run should be
scored.
The Detroits made their first run in the fifth
inning three base hit by Camel and sin
gle by Richardson. In the eighth inning an
other run was added on a shree-bas hit by
Richardson. and sacrifice by Rowe. but there
a great deal of doubt among spectators as
to whether not Richardson reached the home
plate before Myers touched him with the ball.
With the score tie, the game was called at
the end of the eighth inning on account of dark
ness. Following In the score:

A New Version of the Hoches- Halrett Scana
dal-A Bold, Bad Young Woman.
London Cable Special.
The following statement was made yesterday
afternoon by American who was a warm per-
sonal friend of Mrs. Hughes Hailett in the
days when, as Miss Emily Schomberg. she wal
the belle of Philadelphia. 1t may be accepted
as by authority. and. considering its source and
the extraordinary nature of the excuse made for
Colonel Hughes Haliett. it is certainly one OF
the most peculiar phases of this wholly unparal-
leled case. It is as follows
s.The reports which have appeared in many OF
the papers to the effect that Mrs Hushes-Hal-
lett has left her husband and is travelling on the
continent preparatory to returning TO America
and securing divorce, are totally without toun-
dalton. On the contrary, Mrs. Hallett is resd-
ing in Cromwell road. and is standing stancbly
by him. endeavoring to help him live down the
scandal which. by weakness in un-
fortunate moment her 49, husband has
fully acquainted with the unfortunate
circumstances of the case can only applaud Mrs.
Hallett's conduct. though perhaps to those less
instructed in all the horrible details of this most
unsavory scandal she may seem wanting in that
proper spirit and feeling of self-respect which is
SO CHARACTERISTIC of American women Some
two years ago Miss Selwyn appealed to Colonel
Halett save her from the extortionate treat
ment Of her own flesh and blood. 1t is un--
necessary to state the circumstances OF this
money transaction. But as soon as 1t came TO
her ears, Mrs. Hallett out OF kindness OF heart
offered the young lady a temporary home.
mo she installed there than in
-
menced to undermine Mrs. Haett's influence
with her husband. and in a manner which be-
came the talk of all the visitors at the house,
she absolutely threw herself in Col Halletts
way. Her behavior became SO outrageous that
Col Euehes-Hallet himself was compelled to
ask her to reside elsewhere. When Col. Hallef
went to visit bis friends In the country, by Z
variety OF ways Miss Selwyn succeeded in
getting invited to the same houses at ths
same time. The statement that they met az
the house of Mr.. Henry Smith by appoint
ment is false The Colonel was stopping there
and Miss Seiwyn secured invitation. on
the plea that she wished to obtain advice
from him regarding the man agement of her fort
une. The various statements asserting that
Captain Selwin, or Mrs Hallett. or Mr.. Henry
Smith first made known the scandal are one and
all false. It was MADE public by Miss Selwyn
herself. who desired to compel the Colonel to
marry her / will not attempt to explain this
young lady's conduct. Only those who have for
the past two years observed the course of her
selfish and INSCRIPTIONS passion for Colonies

view of the affair I make public. not to obtain
